A beach walker poses for a photograph besides jellyfish that have been washed up on Sidmouth beach by yesterday's ex-hurricane Ophelia in Sidmouth on Oct. 17, 2017 in Devon, England. People have been warned to take extra care close to the coastline after reports of deadly Portugese man o'war being washed inland by ex-hurricane Ophelia.
